So Carol, how come every Friday, of late, we get a post about always mouth-watering SWEETS!?I'm heading out to the market nearby, where I know I can at least get a freshly made glazed donut from the Pennsylvania Dutch bakery.And its' your fault.YUM.

Dear JOANNY,What about me?Surrounded by all those goodies in Sarabeth's bakery?Do take pity...I spyed the mini palmiers and asked for one...Sarabeth wrapped up FIVE and two mini jams before I could say a thing.Of course they're all gone.I'm a believer in getting dangerous things out of sight as quickly as possible!

I love the way everything looks so 'REAL'.The cakes and cookies, the bakery kitchen with everyday tools piled up, those weird vanilla beans... And Sarabeth, herself, looks wonderfully warm and approachable.This book is a keeper.Thank you PB!

LOVE the picture of the messy spoons! And the rolling pin looks like you could pick it up right off the page...Very delicious post and book-looking forward to having that rolling pin in MY kitchen.Merci Carol

While I"m afraid baking is too complicated pour moi, I am drooling over the photography in Sarabeth's book. Excellent. Bon chance with your book SB! Carol, if you're post doesn't get her a zillion sales I'll be surprised. Wonderful and loved your photos as well.V

my name is Sarabeth as well. I met her a few years ago when I was in New York...Of course, I told her how much I love everything, but was wondering why she didn't have merchandise with our name on it...how cool would it be to have an apron with my name on it......The book looks great...thanks for showcasing her...

Those Danish (in your picture following the chocolate cubbies) look just like Viennese "Topfengolatschen" - which are made from "plunderteig" - like brioche dough, but layered with butter for an effect similar to mille-feuille - and filled with fresh farmers cheese. Wished I could have a bite right now!

I can't remember ever being this anxious for a cookbook.*the fridge is scrubbed out for fresh butter and eggs and cream.*the freezer too, just in case.*New silpats and parchment at the ready.*spatulas polished. *mixer at attention.Now all I need is Sarabeth's cookbook!julie

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
